Evans & Friends Vol.2 - Other Lines

A gambit is only half a repertoire. Volume 1 armed you with the Evans; Volume 2 covers every Black player who steers elsewhere after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3.

IM Andrew Martin begins where it matters most: the Two Knights Defense, which you'll meet roughly half the time you reach for 4.b4. His choice here is 4.d3 – the move today's elite prefer. It won't promise an advantage out of the opening, but it produces a rich, closed-Lopez-style middlegame full of pieces and play, ideal for outplaying strong opposition. Little theory to memorize; plans and manoeuvres instead, including attacking schemes where White leaves the king in the centre and storms the kingside.

and the free video sample: Two Knights Defence

 

 Against the rock-solid Petroff, Andrew hands you a surprise: the offbeat 5.Bd3, an idea borrowed from Morozevich that leads to fresh, unusual positions your opponent almost certainly hasn't prepared.

Then there's the rogues' gallery – Elephant, Latvian, Stafford, Copycat Trap – refuted one by one, taking all the fun out of it for your opponent. The volume closes with the quieter ...d6 systems, the Philidor and the Hungarian Defense, where natural moves, extra space and patience do the work.

Andrew Martin also wrote a book for New in Chess on this subject which appeared at the same time as this video course. Here you can find the details: https://www.newinchess.com/the-evans-gambit
